From the 2013 W100:

"The recognition I have received via the W100 has been overwhelming, both personally and professionally. The W100 ranking has helped to raise the profile of my company and broadened my network of business leaders, which has helped position the company for future growth opportunities."

WHAT IS THE W100?

Now in its 17th year, the PROFIT/Chatelaine W100 ranking and awards program is Canada's largest celebration of entrepreneurial achievement by women. The PROFIT/Chatelaine W100 ranks female entrepreneurs by a composite score that considers the size, growth rate and profitability of the companies they own and manage.

Winners are honoured in summer 2015 issues of Canadian Business and Chatelaine magazines, and year-round on PROFITguide.com. They are also invited to the PROFIT/Chatelaine W100 Idea Exchange, an exclusive networking and learning event.

WHY ENTER?

Earning a spot on the PROFIT/Chatelaine W100 ranking can bring firms valuable publicity, attract new customers and investors, increase employee engagement and boost sales to new customers. W100 companies receive coverage in both Canadian Business and Chatelaine magazines, marketing and PR collateral to leverage their W100 honours, and an invitation to the PROFIT/Chatelaine W100 Idea Exchange, the exclusive conference for the most successful women entrepreneurs in the country.
